Will the West Survive This Century?

“Nativism . . . xenophobia or worse” is behind the triumph of Brexit and the support for Donald Trump, railed PresidentBarack Obama in Ottawa recently. Obama believes that resistance to transformational change in the character and identityof countries of the West, from immigration, can only be the product of sick minds or sick hearts.

According to The New York Times, he willspend the last months of his presidency battling “the nativism and nationalism” of Trump and “Britain’s Brexiteers.”

Prediction: Obama will fail. For rising ethnonationalism and militarization of frontiers is baked in the cake, if the West wishes to remain the West.

Behind that prediction lie the startling figures of the UN’s “World Population 2015” chart, which just arrived.

Given the tyranny, destitution, and disease that afflict Africa, what—other than barriers, border guards, and warships—is there to stop tens ofmillions of young African men from crossing over in coming decades to fill the empty spaces left by dying Europeans?

The Arab-Muslim population of North Africa alone, from the western Sahara and Morocco to Egypt and Sudan, will add 130 million people in35 years. Egypt will add 60 million, to reach a population of 151 million by 2050.

Yet Egypt will still have only the fifth-highestpopulation of Muslims, behind Indonesia, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and India.

While impossible to find a Western countrywith a fertility rate that will prevent its nativeborn people from dying off, it is difficult to find aMuslim country that does not boast a rising or exploding population.

If the future belongs to the young, it belongs toAsians, Africans, and Latin Americans, and it belongs to Islam.

Eastern Europe presents the grimmest picturein Europe. Between now and 2050, Poland will lose 5 million people, Ukraine almost 10 million,and Russia 15 million. Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia will see one-sixth of their combined populationdisappear. Such losses are comparable to those of World War II.

In percentage terms, Ukraine will suffer most.By midcentury, its population will have shrunk by 21% to 35 million. Is this not a graver matter than whose flag flies over Crimea?

The bleakest prospects belong to Japan, home to some of the most capable, industrious, and advanced people on Earth.

Between now and 2050, Japan will lose 19 millionpeople and see its population fall to 107 million. A third of the nation is already 60 or older. Only 1 in 7 Japanese are under 16.

The people of Japan are the oldest on Earth. In coming decades, a large slice of Japan’s population will be working to support healthcare, pensions, and welfare for the aged, infirm, and dying.

And the United States? With Mexico and Central America adding 56 million people in 35 years, either the U.S. secures its southern border or the11-12 million immigrants here illegally will have millions of new compatriots.

America is already evolving into another country.Though the U.S. is projected to grow by 67 million people in 35 years, this growth will bewholly among Hispanics, Asians, and African-Americans. In each of the past four years, non-Hispanic white Americans have registered more deaths than births.

Between July 2014 and July 2015, the Asian-American population grew by 3.4%, and the Hispanic population grew 2.2%. The black populationwas up 1.3%. But the white population grew by only 0.1%.

White America has begun to die. Can Obamareally believe that amnesty for undocumented immigrants is still in the cards with a Republican Congress scorched by the forces behind Trump?

Can he believe that the right-wing parties proliferating across Europe, which see their nations imperiled by a rising tide of Muslim immigrantsand refugees, will pack it in and support the EU’s march to a transnational superstate that controls immigration and borders?

What has been tabled for discussion this year, in Europe and America, is the future of the West as an identifiable civilization to be cherished and defended by the peoples whose ancestors created it.

And Obama’s reverence for Islam notwithstanding, the West remains the greatest civilization of them all.

Belatedly, Western Man appears to have decidedto defend the shire, pull up the drawbridge, and man the parapets on the castle walls.

As for Trumpism and the Brexiteers, Mr. President,in the words of Jimmy Durante, “You ain’t seen nothing yet.”

One Response to Will the West Survive This Century?

Most Americans (I think) welcome an orderly, secure, humane LEGAL immigration system into the USA. This however within the context of the “melting pot, assimilationist” framework regarding work, customs, language, and culture. The racial, ethnocentric violence makes it more evident everyday that the multiculturalist, corporatist, labor model implemented and promoted by the liberal, globalist, open borders, is imploding under the pressure of its internal contradictions. Multiculturalism as envisioned by cynical post-industrial Cultural Marxists, pretend to ignore the weight of morality, ideology, nationality, religions exerts upon the individual and collective psyche among different groups. The conservative pro-immigration forces MUST insist on incentivizing, rewarding and even demanding ASSIMILATIONIST policies by both public and private sectors. On the other hand, the accelerated decrease of USA native-born populations, especially whites will not be reversed UNLESS FISCAL (IRS), economic, civic policies reinvigorate, reward, FAMILIES with 2+ children; the Japanese are doing it! The Europeans will have to do it also. It will also demand that native-born Americans lose their sense of cultural guilt, especially whites! On the other hand, many Americans still harbor this sense of birth privilege and disdain work (manual) in favor of gov’t assistance. We need an American Marshall Plan.
